Synopsis

In a future where entertainment is forbidden on many planets, AKB0048 defies the ban by bringing music to people living under repression. Nagisa cannot forget the secret concert she witnessed as a child and applies to join the group despite the risks.

Training introduces her to other hopefuls whose ambitions, rivalries, and friendships shape her new life. Performing is not simply a matter of learning songs and dances: armed forces stand between the group and its audience. Nagisa must discover how to inspire courage while confronting her own fear.
